Hi,
I'm looking for a software to optimize the layout of my factory but I really don't know If there's anyone that does this. Does anyone know them?
I don't know it this category is the best to post this question... sorry about that.

You trying to optomize for flow or ???
Yes...
The flow of components between the machines. Or something like "considering the projectd flows between the machines, what is the best location for each machine"
Something like this.
Thanks![]()
If you already have a layout....the best approach is to identify your "bottle necks" the bottle necks may appear in different places depending on your product mix, its customization level, short runs, long runs, etc.
Hi,
It is a software - FactoryFlow, alone or part of e-Factory package. I do not remember exactly, but I think is Unigraphics product. If you check on net you will find out it. Unfortunately, if I remember correctly (again) there is not demo available, at least for download from net, but maybe they will send a demo CD if you ask. You must ask/try. Anyway I have the feeling that it is very expensive. I did not work with this (I am involved in Lean Management - Lean Manufacturing) but I have seen the product working. Also, I had the opportunity few years ago when I have working with a big multinational company here in Romania to work with Pro Model. It is a software which is modeling the process in 3 D, and you can setup the flow, layout, kanban, etc. It is a great production process simulator, so you can use it for flow/layout definition. I believe that this is available for download as a demo.
